“Janine was wonderful. She took great care of my little beastie, Squeeks, and was very accommodating about picking up and dropping off keys at a nearby location. She sent pics daily and was clearly someone who knew how to play with cats.”
“Dana visited my cat Izzy twice a day for four days over Christmas. She provided a very professional level of service, sending me her report and pictures for each visit. She went above and beyond the call of duty washing up Izzy’s dishes and place mat and even emptying our Litter Locker and positioning a new bag. Dana paid us a visit when I first booked with Rover to meet Izzy and me. She came by for a second visit the week before I left. I don’t know if Izzy found that reassuring but I sure did. Professional though she was, by the time I left I felt I was leaving my pet with a trusted friend.”
“Hannah was so wonderful with my cat, and provided detailed notes and photos each visit. She made sure to follow and confirm feeding instructions, and spent high quality time grooming and playimg with my cat. If my cat could speak I think she would say she was spoiled with loving attention from Hannah!”
About: Over the past several years, I have looked after home and petals for family and friends, caring for daily routines and walks to overnight stays. I'm currently completely my masters and working part time. Recently moved back to the Comox Valley. My time currently is pretty flexible. Excited to help. Happy to take your dog for a walk, or looked after your house and pets while you are away. Excited to work with you and your pets.
“Anthony took great care of my cat when I was away, she is very anxious and shy but I felt confident leaving my cat with him, he even took my mail in and sent me updates and a little video to reassure me! I would definitively book Anthony again!!”
About: I housesit every year for a dog and cat for about a month at a time. Odd housesitting/walking here and there as well. I’d be happy to live in a world of just animals! The past four years, I’ve owned rats and would love to check on your exotic pets as well! I understand how hard it is to find people for that, I’ve experienced some awful pet sitters. I currently have a lot of time off right now, so my schedule is pretty open. There is a 2/3 week period that I won’t be able to provide care unless it’s just house visits. I will respect the rules in your house and take good care of your animals! Unfortunately I won’t be able to have any animals at my place at the moment as I still have one senior rat. I value a clean environment for animals and will take better care of your pet than anyone else, other than you, of course!
“Tamara did an excellent job taking care of my cat and my home while I was away. She was respectful, friendly, easy to communicate with, and always quick to respond to messages. She also sent me pictures of my cat, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I came home to a happy cat and a well-looked-after house. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her.”
About: I make sure your cat feels safe, respected and well cared for while you're away. Following your cat's routine closely, keeping their space clean and stress-free. I understand feline behaviour, routines and boundaries. Your cat's comfort, safety and happiness always comes first. Whether they are playful, shy or independant I can't wait to meet my new furry friend. I'm a retired EA, and passionate to start my fun second career, working with animals I love. I have a flexible schedule, dependable and available on short notice. I care for pets in their home by following safety, respecting your space, communicating clearly, and keeping pets comfortable, calm, and secure following instructions carefully.
“Rebecca was an excellent cat sitter and I would highly recommend her! She made sure she had all the details about my cat’s care, was fast and easy to communicate with, and sent detailed updates about the quality time she spent with my cat.”
“Fiona did daily visits to our cat Kinder while we were away for a week. Communication was easy and she took a lot of time to cuddle with our cat and we appreciate that! Highly recommended”
“Madison was a lifesaver when I was in a pinch! Tuna is pretty easygoing, but I'm so grateful she stepped in while I was out of town for 30 hours. Even without an in-person meeting, she visited twice, kept me well-informed, and made everything seamless. Highly recommend!”
“Holly did multiple house visits with our dog. It is great to have someone reliable to come check on our pup and she has also accepted requests on short notice too. She is our go to person. Definitely recommending her.”
About: I have had a dog my entire life, most recently my boy Tas who I had for 11 great years. I love animals and will treat them with care and respect. I work a set schedule and look after pets on my days off. I have my own space with no other animals. They will be alone for minimal time in my care. I have a fenced yard, one small dog lives upstairs, who is very friendly. We have a forested area with trails where I will walk your pup.
